Blue Jays pitcher Bowden Francis has struggled in the Majors this season but it looks like he has been finding his stride once again in Triple-A Francis had a great performance with the Bisons yesterday, pitching 4 innings without giving up a single hit or run while striking out 8 batters. Bowden Francis tonight in Triple-A Buffalo: 4 IP • 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 K • 58 pitches - 44 strikes The #BlueJays are stretching Francis out a bit (again). If Kikuchi is dealt, I'd bet on Francis making some starts down the stretch. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/KeeganMatheson/status/1814453625361707122'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> If Francis continues to perform and the Blue Jays decide to trade Kikuchi at the deadline, there is a good chance he makes a return with the Blue Jays.
